Last year, junior, Perey Yung, started her own coffee cart named, “Perey’s Cafe.” Perey’s Cafe is opened during fourth and sixth period in the cafeteria.

Perey wanted to share some of her favorite drinks with her friends so she came up with the idea to open her own coffee cart.

“I drink green tea and decaf coffee so I thought my friends would like it too,” Perey said.

To turn her idea into a reality, Perry’s brother, Halley, helped her build the cart and her mom came up with ideas for the artwork.

Perey does not make any profit from her coffee cart. Instead, the money benefits the school.

“Part of the money earned is for supplies and the rest is for WJPS, Ms. Pepe collects the money for WJPS,” Perey said.

WJPS News switched from a monthly newspaper (named The Blazer) to an online convergent media site. Now, working with the school’s broadcast, The Highlight and the yearbook The Byline, we are hoping to bring the information for students to one place.
